If the clock is fast by 7 minutes, what is the correct time?
Home / 3rd grade / Comparing numbers / Time / 7 minutes fast
So, you have a clock that is running 7 minute fast. That means it is always telling you a time that is 7 minutes later than the real time. Here are the steps to work out the correct time:
Step 1: Read the time on the fast clock. Look at the clock and read the time it's showing. Let's say the fast clock is showing 4:25 PM (twenty-five past four).
Step 2: Understand what it means for a clock to be fast. A clock that is "fast" means it's showing a time that's later than the actual, correct time. In our case, the clock is 7 minutes fast, which means it's showing a time that's 7 minutes later than the real time.
Step 3: Subtract the fast minutes. Now we need to subtract those extra 7 minutes from the time shown on the fast clock to find the correct time. Here's how we do it:
Start with the minutes on the fast clock: 25 minutes.
Subtract the 7 fast minutes: 25 - 7 = 18 minutes.
So the correct time is 4:18 PM or eighteen minutes past four.
